Chapter 226 Let Xiao Chen support others?

Chapter 226 Let Xiao Chen support others?

As noon approached, the four of them made an appointment to have a barbecue together and prepared things in advance.

Among a few people, only Chen Linfeng and Shu Chang can cook.

Liu Qianqian said she wanted to learn, but in the past year, she was very busy and had no time.

In the end, it was decided that Chen Linfeng would pack the ingredients, Shu Chang would prepare various seasonings, and Shi Xiaolong and Liu Qianqian would be in charge of directing.

While he was cutting the meat, Mango Channel happened to release the trailer of "Ming Dynasty 1566" on TV, which was broadcast on January 7.

Shi Xiaolong sighed, "There are so many stars in this film, I feel like I have seen most of them."

Shu Chang nodded, "Many of them have appeared in "Empire of the Tang Dynasty", In fact, if nothing else, just Mr. Chen Baoguo is enough. The TV series he plays are generally very good."

Liu Qianqian tilted her head and thought, this is not the time for the Golden Eagle Award, Xiao Fengti said. That's the show.

She recounted Chen Linfeng's original judgment, "Xiaofeng seems to appreciate this drama, but is not very optimistic about its ratings. She even told teacher Chen Baoguo about this at the beginning."
< br>

Shu Chang: "Really?"

Shi Xiaolong: "Why do you think the ratings of a good-looking drama are not high?"

He turned to look at his younger brother, "Xiao Feng , what do you say? "

Chen Linfeng has finished cutting the meat and vegetables and is about to invite others to join in the skewers.

Hearing this, he replied, "This will be the norm in the future. Good-quality dramas and dramas with high ratings are no longer completely equated. So when you choose dramas in the future, you must not only look at the quality of the scripts, but also the quality of the scripts." Look at the trends of the times.”

Liu Qianqian wrinkled her nose, "You always have a lot of novel theories."

Since becoming an adult, Liu Xiaoli has given herself the authority to choose films.

Besides following Chen Linfeng’s blind choice, she also firmly believed that the script and story would be good.

Now that Xiaofeng said this, he didn’t know what to choose.

Shi Xiaolong’s mind was even more confused.

Shu sings better. She has been relatively independent since she was a child. She is not afraid of making wrong choices at the moment, as long as she corrects them in time.

The three of them were very curious about Chen Linfeng's thoughts, and looked at him curiously, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

Chen Linfeng clapped his hands, "Don't just look at me, start working first."

"Oh, here we go, I'm going to wash my hands first."

"I Go too.”

"..."

Just put the meat on skewers and start grilling.

Chen Linfeng continued the topic while grilling.

“Let’s not talk about the script selection for now, and let’s go back to the drama itself, “The Ming Dynasty”. You may not have any idea of ​​the gap between the quality of the work and the ratings performance.”

He pinched He poured some salt and chili powder on the meat and said at the same time.

"My evaluation of "The Ming Dynasty" is that it may not even be one of the top historical dramas.

And my expectation for its ratings is that it may be less than 1%."

This is too exaggerated.

Shu Chang hesitated to speak, but finally said, "If there is any kind of drama in China that has always been good, it must be historical drama.

There has never been a top-notch drama in the past. The ratings of historical dramas are not good, let alone what you are talking about may be the best historical drama in history.”

Although Liu Qianqian heard that Xiaofeng was not optimistic about the ratings of this drama, she never expected that it would not be so optimistic.

What is the concept of 1%?

This era is not the future. Less than 1% of them die violently, and they may even be cut off by half of the TV broadcasts.

She nodded in agreement, "This year's "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" has just set a ratings record in recent years. When you say that, we can't believe it."

"What Sissi said is what I thought. I can't believe you this time." Shu Chang thought the same.

Only Shi Xiaolong trusts his younger brother's judgment more because they grew up together.

But he was also surprised and couldn't help but ask, "How can there be such a big difference?"

"The main issue is the audience group and the era."< br>
Chen Linfeng answered Xiaolong's question, and at the same time he nodded at the two girls.

"You two don't believe me, why don't you wait until "The Ming Dynasty" is aired and let's see the result."

Liu Qianqian did not lose her momentum at all, "Let's bet, let's sing together."

Although Shu Chang couldn't believe it, in the final analysis, if the two people's judgments were inconsistent, she would be inclined to believe Chen Linfeng of.

But Sissi had already said so, so she reluctantly agreed to the bet.

“Okay, what are we betting on?”

Seeing that there was a lot of fun to be had, Shi Xiaolong raised his hand and said, “I’ll join in, too. I’ll take Xiaofeng’s side.”

"Work together." Chen Linfeng snapped his fingers, "Then let's bet on one thing. It shouldn't be too difficult, and we should agree on what we want the other party to do now."

Shi Xiaolong said excitedly, "Then my request is that Shu Chang treats me to a big meal. When Sissi learns to cook, she can just let me have a meal while cooking for Xiaofeng."

Chen Linfeng also said his own, "My request is very simple. Shu Chang cannot have plastic surgery in the future. Sissi will call me brother when she is with me in the future."

Sissi did not expect Xiaofeng to want To do this is to rebel.

She angrily said, "Bah, you think so. I will definitely win you. If I win, you will call me sister every day from now on."

Shu Chang didn't expect Chen Linfeng to mention plastic surgery. She had indeed been thinking about it recently.

Mainly because in the previous year, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian made great progress.

She was worried about being left too far behind and not even being able to be friends in the future.

The entertainment industry is too realistic. Even if the relationship between the two parties is good, they may drift apart because of the large status gap.

Shu Chang knew that this request was for her own good, so he agreed directly, thinking that this was repaying Xiaofeng for his many persuasion and guidance in the past.

"Okay, if Sissi and I win, I ask Xiaofeng to pamper Sissi more, and Xiaolong will bring me a cup of milk tea every time we meet in the future."

Liu Qianqian made a big blush, " "Why do you say that?"

Shu Chang reminded her, "You haven't given Xiaolong a request yet."

"Oh, let me think about it." After a while, "If we win, Xiaolong will perform a set of martial arts for us."

"Okay, now the bet is established. I am willing to admit defeat, comrades." Chen Linfeng laughed and looked very happy. look.

Liu Qianqian refused to accept it, "Don't laugh as if you've won now, or I'll make you cry when I call you sister later."

Haha, this is how time-travelers play.

Chen Linfeng felt the happiness in this aspect for the first time in a long time.

At this time, the first batch of barbecue was almost ready, and he greeted everyone to start eating.

While Shu Chang was eating, he was still thinking about what Chen Linfeng said when he answered Xiaolong.

She knew the audience, Mango Channel was mostly watched by young people.

Although it would lead to a good drama with such a dismal ratings of less than 1%, she was not sure.

What about the era mentioned later?

She couldn't help but ask.

“Yes.” Liu Qianqian also had the same doubts,

"It's only been a year, but times have changed?"

"It cannot be said that it has completely changed. It is just an auxiliary variable. In 2007, there will indeed be a relatively large change in the direction of TV drama viewing among viewers. " Chen Linfeng explained, "Since last year, many production companies have been aware of it, so this year they have launched many dramas of "The Tang Dynasty". The success has made many film and television companies wonder whether they made a mistake in their judgment. Now they are waiting and watching. "The Ming Dynasty" will help them make up their minds."

Chen Linfeng continued, "The times I am talking about have changed, not just the times. The change in the direction of watching the drama is a big situation

That is to say, the overall sluggishness of TV dramas probably started in 2007. "

The three of them were really shocked now. Tomorrow will be 2007. Isn't it just around the corner?

Shi Xiaolong: "You didn't say that two years ago. After all, isn’t it just the decline of martial arts dramas? "

Liu Qianqian: "Yeah, didn't you tell me that you have to act in TV series for a few more years before you turn to movies? "

Shu Chang: "If the TV series doesn't work anymore, what will we do in the future? ”

Chen Linfeng repeatedly reassured, "Don't be nervous. The decline of TV dramas is a gradual process and will not be as fast as the music market.

And this decline is more reflected in production companies and TV stations.

The rise of online platforms will make up for it a little bit

Generally speaking, there is still enough food to eat.”

“It’s okay, that’s what you just said. It's too scary." Liu Qianqian patted her flat chest and felt relieved.

Chen Linfeng finally concluded, "The next two years should be the last glorious period for TV dramas.

After that, the quality of TV dramas, from scripts to production, will decline rapidly.

As a result, some viewers have completely given up watching TV series, and another mobile phone has been invested in the movie market.

As for the specific reasons, I won’t give you an analysis. It’s too long.

What I want to say. Yes, when you choose dramas later, please pay attention to a few principles and try to avoid them.”

"What time."

Chen Linfeng stretched out a few fingers.

“First, try not to choose modern idol dramas shot in the mainland. In a few years, we can expand to the field of costumes.

Second, if you successfully enter the film industry in the future, do not accept co-productions from China and other countries. Film.

Thirdly, there are some directors, it is best not to act in their dramas.”

Here, Chen Linfeng specifically mentioned a few people, all of whom were directors who hit the theaters in subsequent generations, including Lu, of course.

Among them are directors from Hong Kong and mainland China.

The three of them didn't quite understand what was wrong with these directors. They just thought it was Xiaofeng who didn't like their directing style.

Since they are from the same camp and Xiaofeng doesn’t like it, then they won’t go. A few people nodded.

"Finally," Chen Linfeng emphasized, "Don't touch any historical dramas produced by Hong Kong directors. This so-called history lasted from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period to 1950."

"Puch", Liu Qianqian laughed out loud.

"Isn't it true that only modern dramas can be filmed? Your last one was too exaggerated. Why did the director from Hong Kong offend you?"

Chen Linfeng is very serious.

The historical dramas produced by directors from small places are always similar to gangster films, and later generations have proven this many times.

He glared at Sissi and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm serious. Please count the historical dramas produced by Hong Kong directors. Is there any good one?"

After thinking about it, he added some qualifiers, "Those who were from the mainland before the founding of the People's Republic of China and later moved to Hong Kong Island are not counted. These people received a mainland-style education."

A few people thought for a while and replied. I can't think of any examples.

Shi Xiaolong thought of one thing, "Isn't it been rumored in the industry that Director Wu Yusen is going to make "Red Cliff"? This is a great director. If he approached you about this movie, you wouldn't accept it?"

Chen Linfeng sneered, "This is a typical example. You can see it again in two years. The box office is probably pretty good because there are a group of celebrities, but the reputation will definitely collapse."

The other three people Keep in mind the principles that Chen Linfeng just mentioned, and prepare to observe them later to see if they are accurate.

If it's true what he said, then these few words are worth a lot of money.

It can help eliminate some very confusing movies, which is what actors in the industry only dream of.

As for "Red Cliff", after all, it is in the future, and they are not sure whether this is accurate, so they simply change the topic.

We had a great time having a barbecue, and then in the afternoon the four of us gathered at a table and started playing mahjong.

Not to mention the fun here.

The next day, Sister Mei called Chen Linfeng to break the news.

He touched his forehead with his hand, "You're really right, Xiaolong's mouth must be blessed."

"Huh? What blessing?"

Chen Linfeng shook his head violently to get rid of the thoughts in his mind.

“Nothing, have you found out what role he wants me to play?”

When a director invites a famous actor to a big-budget movie like this, he must have a rough idea of ​​what role he wants the actor to play.

Sister Mei replied, "It is said to be Zhao Yun."

"Haha." Chen Linfeng sneered, "Sure enough, it is better to let mainland actors support them. Wu Yusen thought the same. It's so beautiful."

Sister Mei said in surprise, "Zhao Yun should be an important figure in the Three Kingdoms theme, right?"

"His movie is "Red Cliff", and Zhao Yun has no role in it at all. , purely a supporting role.”

"Xiao Feng, are you sure?" Sister Mei's expression became serious.

Of course, it is only determined through past lives.

“I asked a friend to find out that the most important characters in this film are Zhou Yu, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang. Even the heroine is very important, and everyone else is considered a supporting role.”

Sister Mei He was shocked, "In the Three Kingdoms drama, women are just embellishments at most, why are the heroines so important?"

"What do you think, there are more exaggerated ones." Chen Linfeng told the story he had heard The news was shared.

I heard that screenwriter Lu Wei wrote several versions of the script, but Wu Yusen was not satisfied with it.

Lu Wei asked, what do you want to take a picture of?

Wu Yusen said he wanted to take pictures of peace.

Lu Wei was happy at that time. There was everything in the Three Kingdoms, but there was no peace.

Lastly I heard that the script was written by Wu Yusen and his wife.

Sister Mei took a breath, "That's true. Then I'm really grateful that he only gave us a supporting role. At least I don't feel bad if I refuse."

"This is not necessary, even if it is a protagonist, I will I won’t go. The historical film directed by Hong Kong Island is really a joke.”

“Okay, I understand, I will reject them directly, and then I will directly communicate with the media. He said that we were willing to consider it, but after hearing that none of screenwriter Lu Wei's scripts were accepted, we decisively rejected it."

"This is putting them on fire," Chen Linfeng said happily.< br>
"Okay, let's do it this way. It's best to reveal some gossip and say that I am not optimistic about the script of "Red Cliff"."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Sister Mei was also holding her breath in her heart. With our Xiaofeng's current status, which crew would dare to cast a supporting role as a disgusting one?

Last and last, it has to be an important role like Zhou Jielun in "The Golden Armor", coupled with the status of a great director like Director Zhang, can it be discussed.

It turned out to be a good thing. I just called to inform you and didn't come to visit you in person.
